Hemingways, Skipton

Skipton is a market town on the southern tip of the Yorkshire Dales. Market forces here, and in many other parts of Yorkshire, seem to necessitate an abundance of traditional tea rooms at the expense of my kind of coffee house. Unfortunately, Hemingways isn't really an exception, but it's still a fairly good place for a mug of coffee.

There was live music, in the form of an octogenarian pianist (give or take a decade). Two ladies behind me hummed along to 'On The Street Where You Live' and others. I think "quaint" is the word I'm looking for; you get the idea.

Is there a better spot for a cosy coffee in Skipton? Please let me know.
